5 Minutes of Clarity and a Single Moment of Serenity

The sun is shining
Its a beautiful day
Sometimes I have to pray
For the sun to shine on me
Instead of the shade
For darkness loves to cover the heart
Seems like i can't get a headstand
Pride greed and fear
Is were i started to steer
Family friends and goals
Are thrown in the holes
Lost in the distance of who i can't be
Memories i can't allow myself to see
It seems every time i try to stand
There is never a helping hand
For the true ones i had to hold
Turned their backs when i sold my soul
For the destructive path that i now lead
I'm the one who sowed that volatile seed
For this life of pain and misery
I'm a blind man who can't see
The sun shining down on me
For the shade has to stay
Until the day i have the strength to pray
A single string of hope
That i can never see
A fearful past
That i had to lead
5 minutes of clarity
And a moment of serenity
For every second at least one heart seeks
In this world of fear and greed
To be the person they want to be
For no one wants to experience this pain of treachery
The bleeding hearts and the lost souls
All had an obtainable goal
Threw away or taken people don't know
But human judgment is always bestowed
On the liars beggars cheats and thieves
Understand, you can not with out experiencing the deed
The power of choice is what we've been given
Hope, Enlightenment, Love And Peace stay hidden
For the key i hold unlocks this mystery
This mystery of H.E.L.P.
And then the shade of darkness shall go away
The sun shall now forever stay
Enclosed in this box threw the distance of time and space
I shall forever be hidden from the pain of my insecurities
5 minutes of clarity
And a single moment of serenity
Is what i shall have, Finally

Arcane

Darkness falls upon my disguise
My heart is torn to my surprise
Emotional stress I cannot hide
A feeling of emptiness wrapped inside
My tears fall down from my eyes
Unto my fingertips as I type
One by One they cover my skin
Nothing will help, not even Mickey Finn
My fault, although I don’t want to admit
Even though it makes me sick!

From all the torment and all the pain
The book you seek, you wont find
For it contains the arcane, of one’s own mind!

Locked up and kept deep away
In your head it will stay,
For only you know which way!
Turn to the one hearts desire
Protected by thick barb wire
Standing on your feet with pride
You must search deep inside
For only you know in order to convey
The feeling’s of your own fray
To do what’s right and just
Because now it is truly a must
And I am hear to say, take the Milky Way
Up, Down, Side to Side,
A helter-skelter kind of existence is that ride!
